Its auto city classic. And unless they fixed the quarter windows, have had curvature issues in the past

Mike, you always seem to be knowledgeable on all of the different brands out there. Is there any company that makes quarter window glass that sits flush with the door windows? Everything I've seen seems to look like the quarter windows are pushed in a little, if you know what I mean.

yes, that is the curvature issue I am referring to. I have 2 full first gen sets from our supplier which is another source that I need to fit before I say 100%, but so far everything has fit very well. Pilkington or PPG is as good as it gets in aftermarket glass, but no smoke available from them.

I tried it and am not impressed. The door glass is so so. It took a long time to get it to fit right and I haven't tried fitting the quarter glass yet. The rear window was way too curved to be able to install. Windshield was okay.

Basically I would not recommend it or getting it through Prodigy. He told me he would replace the rear glass, but that was last year and after numerous emails and such. Nothing.

So Im in the market for some glass right now.

What do you guys recommend that fits? I still have my stock rear quarters and side glass but they are a little scratched up.

Our glass supplier is in Ontario, CA. If you want to try our smoke set including the new smoke windshield, let me know and will get a set shipped over to you. If it don't fit I will refund the order or supply you with Pilkington plus the difference.

I've got the kit in my 69. The windshield and rear glass were ok. The door glass was so so and the quarter glass has, as stated above, "issues". The curvature is way off
Wouldn't do it again. As Todd said, buy some good quality glass and a tint job.
